SPIRIT CHILD

21. DIE WITH

Finally we decided to spend the night between the roots of a large tree, holding the cold of a piercing night to the bone plus the condition of the body that is increasingly less palatable.

Until finally the morning sun greeted us with its light reflecting between the dewy leaves.

This was also my body and Tina's body had a fever. Our faces are pale and very weak.

Rima who witnessed our suffering ended up crying out in regret

Rima wiped away her tears that kept pouring down her cheeks

"I'm sorry. I am the most sinful man in the world. I should have deserved to die instead of you" he said with regret

Me and Tina just looked at her tear-filled face

"Actually you were deliberately framed. At that time my mother-in-law saw our chat, from which she asked you. Actually I don't want to but I can't resist because I'm afraid he's killing me" he said

Hearing him I couldn't forgive him, "You can't lie that Tina and I didn't come because there's some other business ?"

Still in his tears, Rima shook her head

"When my mind was dead, I was under the influence of fear. Sorry" said he

Even though he kept apologizing, I was still upset with him

"So that's why you're apologizing. Why don't you take us running from the beginning. Why now !" upset me

But Tina broke my emotions

"It's Niss, it's all happened. Getting here is more than enough. We don't have to debate yesterday especially you can see for yourself how the struggle Rima killed her in-laws and injured her husband until finally brought us here" he said

I was silent to Tina's words

While Rima was still crying despite continuing to wipe her tears as if her tears were endless

"So, this housing complex was previously full of residents but gradually this housing was left behind by each owner because it was considered haunted because many residents often died. It was all about my two in-laws and my husband. To the extent that their household assistants make the tumbal for their wealth producers. Until now people assume that this housing complex is haunted with a curse so only my in-laws' house that until now there are still residents" he explained

Hearing that I got goosebumps, I didn't think that was the reason

"Keep, why did your son die ?" much

"He was deliberately killed by my husband for the main impact and as an intermediary to the devil" he replied

Heard that me and Tina were wide open

"Huh !"

Rima nodded then continued her story

"At that time, my mother who was staying at the house knew because she had seen with her own eyes that my husband heartily pierced her son. Actually I already know my husband's plan but I can't do anything because my husband is very temperamental. At that time I was also afraid that until I talked a lot then he would kill both my parents"

I'm Tina back in shock "Hah !"

Rima came back to tell stories despite crying but she was great to be strong given her old wounds

"After my mother complained to my father, my husband was finally going to be punished but unfortunately, both my parents were just brutally murdered by my husband exactly like what I did to my in-laws last night" he explained

Me and Tina so joined in crying hearing the severe suffering that Rima had been experiencing all this time.

But Rima still talks

"Today I gave you a way to open the gate lock because I heard your voice in my son's morgue. I heard you guys are gonna run away. There I thought it was time I helped you escape. But apparently I didn't know your car was wrecked. That's why I went back to the garden to hide my husband's sword because it was with that sword that your neck was slashed"

I get goosebumps hearing it but still wonder

"If you really want to help us escape, why not just at that time you appear. You can just say that the gate is not locked" I said

Rima looked down "I'm already feeling guilty. I can't see your disappointed faces. Sorry" said he

At the same time there was a sound of footrests that seemed to step slowly towards us.

Suddenly we were silent locking the sound tightly

Rima looked at me and Tina, and she gave me a signal so we could get ready to run again, but Tina seemed unable to fight her way home.

But unfortunately, he was not ready to run further into the forest. Suddenly Rima's husband appeared from behind the trees that should be able to hide our existence

Her husband stood before us with a fierce gaze and a long, double-edged sword in his hand

We panicked at her presence and without thinking about it again, Rima pulled my and Tina's hands to run through the forest

"Run fast ! Hastttt !" rima shouted

Want to not want me and Tina to run even with a limped step.

It was also Rima's husband chasing us and ready to kill us one by one

But on the way Tina's body collapsed, she fell limp.

Even he was left far away from my footsteps and Rima

While Rima's husband was getting closer to her

I tried to get to Tina but was driven away by Rima

"Here you go, let's just get out of here !" he screamed while pulling my hand

I obviously rejected it

"So. Take off my hands !" I shouted while trying to release Rima's hand

But Rima still kept hitting on me, she kept trying to get me to continue going from there

"Leave it, Nissa.. Relieve him..ayooo !!!!" force Rima while continuing to drag me

At the same time Rima's husband steps closer to Tina who looks helpless.

Then he struck Tina's body in a row with the sword he carried until Tina finally stretched her life

From a long distance covered in leaves I can still see Tina being killed blindly

With the steps getting further away from Tina, I cried hysterically, I could only yell at her while holding my hand that was forcefully pulled by Rima

"Tinaaaaaa !!! Tinaa !!! Tinnnaaaa !!!" yell at

"Huhuhuhuhuhu..huhuhuhuhu !!"

Again I never thought that I should see my own friend killed so badly, if I could help him maybe he wouldn't have died in vain.

May you rest in peace, my friend.

Finally I went back on my way until I finally entered the forest that Rima believed that her husband would not know where we were.

Rima calmed me down too

"Sorry Nissa, if we fight him then he will kill us" he said

Heard her I was crying

"I can't bear to see Tina killed that instant. And I don't know what else to do either. I'm also sure that I won't live." I said

But Rima brushed off my bad thoughts

"Son, you must be alive" she assured me

Rima pointed the way to me "That's the shortcut" he pointed

I looked at him "Where do you know if that's the way ?" ask me for wonder

Rima explained about the shortcut to the asphalt road to the city

"In a moment we'll get to the asphalt road. Through it will penetrate in the middle of the asphalt road to the city. Later in the middle of the road there is a branch of the road from the village later we will find a vehicle ride that passes there" he said confidently

I nodded but I was still wondering where he knew

"yes but you know where ?" ask me again
